∠A and


B
∠B are supplementary angles. If m

A
=
(
3
x

12
)

∠A=(3x−12)

and m

B
=
(
4
x

25
)

∠B=(4x−25)

, then find the measure of

B
∠B

Answer:
99^(\circ)

Explanation:

  1. 3x - 12 + 4x - 25 = 180 [supplementary angles add to 180 degrees]
  2. 7x - 37 = 180 [combine like terms]
  3. 7x = 217 [add 37 to both sides]
  4. x = 31 [divide both sides by 7]

So,
m\angle B=4(31)-25=\boxed{99^(\circ)}
